The exhibition features treasure chests filled with coins from all over the world, including authentic coins that visitors can touch, pirate dress items, daily objects used aboard the ship, jewelry, and technically advanced weaponry of the time – 18th century cannon, pistols and swords. These artifacts were painstakingly recovered from the ocean floor by underwater explorer Barry Clifford and his team over the past two and a half decades. One of the most striking artifacts is a replica of the ship's bell, inscribed "Whydah Galley 1716," which was used to authenticate the shipwreck site as that of the Whydah.http://grkids.com/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=55824Tue, 03 Mar 2015 09:00:00 -050003/03/2015 - Toddler RecToddler Rec is a drop-in program held in the Community Center Gymnasium which runs twice a week to allow your toddler some time to run, play and release some energy during the cooler months.

Parking there is on the east side of the road and the hill is approximately 1/8 mile south of Memorial Drive. <br>
